I'm sick of updating software to meet the demands of other software updates.

I'm sick of constantly changing software to keep compatibility with other ever changing software.

I'm sick of updating _hardware_ to keep compatibility with the same software that used to work.

@eldaking I'm nearing basically-done on "Rhapsode"! At which point I'll focus on packaging it for others to use, & keeping dependencies updated. Which may enable new features, but there's not much more that can be added once I add webforms... I've saturated my I/O capabilities...

And I'll be hard it work on "Haphaestus"!

One of the reasons I use a Chromebook at home. I deal with all that stuff during work hours so when it's my personal time I want something that just works and I don't have to think about it. Software updates on a Chromebook are just a restart, that's it. 30 seconds tops, then get on with your life.

@eldaking I always imagined if I ran a software company I would build singular/modular pieces that all worked together so people could just choose what features they want and what they don’t.

But I’m not a dev so I don’t know if that’s really feasible.

@g I mean, that is just selling many different programs, one for each thing. Or toolkits/extensions/addons to the base program, which are very common for commercial software.

@g @eldaking it is technically feasibile. But it's difficult. If the framework on which you build the modules is not perfect, you'll have problems in the future, and since software is never perfect, you will have problems. Those problems are what causes the need to do major updates later.
